My grandma lived in the country (in Cuba) and I think that her genes went past my mother and directly into me. <br /><br />My mom is telling me that my grandma had an aunt that always wore aprons that my grandma would make for her. The aprons had pockets and my grandma's aunt would keep her keys, her cigarettes and candy in the pockets. Funny, although she never wears aprons, my mom has lots of fond memories of my grandma and other ladies in the family using aprons.Crafting Marfahttp://www.craftingmarfa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-1012237509520341622011-08-18T12:00:59.406-07:002011-08-18T12:00:59.406-07:00Love it.

I strapped on my apron and one of the other girls rolled her eyes.

My daughter-in-law wears aprons as well. They may not be the norm but they are still used. Aprons keep you clean and also have good memories attached to them.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638343739137197510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-7617542230041095242011-08-18T07:00:49.530-07:002011-08-18T07:00:49.530-07:00I stayed with my parents last week and my mom and ...I stayed with my parents last week and my mom and I were talking about aprons. She was remembering all the cooking and cleaning and canning and laundry of life on the farm. Aprons were essential. The laundry, done by hand, and ironing, with an iron heated on the woodstove. None of the lovely lightweight, easy to wash, no-iron fabric of today.<br />She remembered her grandma's big apron, and a fresh clean one always close at hand to put on if company showed up at the door. I think my daughters and I will get out our aprons and bake cookies today :).Lisa D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14777395903446188971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-90478553863693156512011-08-18T05:35:54.861-07:002011-08-18T05:35:54.861-07:00Why did they go out of style?

I have a picture of her wearing her apron...a full one. My other grandmother and my mother never wore an apron. I, on the other hand, have always worn aprons because I make such messes in the kitchen. My aunt and uncle caught me wearing yours the other day and commented how sweet it is. <br /><br />Is this your apron stash? I love it! Have you ever tried the chicken scratch embroidery for aprons? It remains on my list of things to try.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
